BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – CNN hypocrisy? Donald Trump is being assailed in the media for disparaging comments he made about Alicia Machado, the Venezuelan winner of the 1996 “Miss Universe” competition. Machado claims that Trump, who ran the Miss Universe pageant, called her “Miss Piggy” after she gained weight. Trump himself said earlier this week that Machado “gained a massive amount of weight and it was a real problem.” But back in 1997, CNN was even more blunt about the beauty queen stating, “When Alicia Machado of Venezuela was named Miss Universe nine months ago, no one could accuse her of being the size of the universe,” wrote legendary CNN correspondent Jeanne Moos. “But as her universe expanded, so did she, putting on nearly 60 pounds.” Hillary Clinton immediately commented on this trending topic. “Both Donald Trump and CNN were out of line with their insensitive comments. I, on the other hand will campaign at weight watcher clubs and fast food restaurants all over America in order to secure the female butterball vote.”
